Perhaps the most common cause of impotence among males is stress. If one has too much on their mind, it will naturally be difficult to simply relax and enjoy their partner. Such distractions can also affect the ability to achieve an erection.(Solutions: Under 55 or Over 55)

Another conventional factor contributing to impotence is performance anxiety. A male may get himself overly ‘worked up’ with the idea that his partner may perceive him to be inadequate or ‘bad in bed’. Compounded by other feelings such as guilt, depression or even boredom, these anxious reactions can result inpsychological impotence, the inability to achieve or maintain an erection due to psychological, over physiological, causes.

The majority of men experience impotence caused by stress or anxiety at least once in their lives. A problem arises when men react to an isolated episode by becoming extremely self-conscious to the point of affecting future sexual practices as well. It is an unfortunate domino effect that only leads to more anxiety and failure to perform.

It is important to note that occasional episodes of impotence are normal. It’s when the dysfunction is experienced commonly that it may be considered a serious issue. Depression, problems with relationships, general fatigue, and even certain medications may all contribute to symptoms of psychological impotence. Learning to relax, practicing meditation techniques and breathing exercises can help you find a general peace, thereby allowing you to overcome bouts of impotency. There are also herbal formulas and natural ways which can make the process of achieving a clear mind with less stress and anxiety possible, eventually recover from erection problems.
